Auto-resume backup for incomplete backup jobs
With this feature, whenever a backup job having Checkpoint restart enabled, goes to an incomplete state, the job auto-resumes after a configured time interval. If the resumed job fails again, it is marked as incomplete, until a scheduled retry job runs again. The job is marked as failed, when all the scheduled retry attempts have completed running. You can configure the number of retries for each job and the delay between two retry attempts.
To configure the number of retries and the interval between two retries:
- On the left, click Host properties, under Hosts.
- Select the host that you want to configure. If the host is not connected, click Connect. Once the host is connected, click Edit primary sever. Click Global attributes.
- To set the interval between two retries, specify a value in minutes in the Job retry delay field.
- To set the number of retries for each job, enter values in the Schedule backup attempts field. You can specify the number of retries that NetBackup should attempt for the specified time interval in hours.
